    摘要: A unique carotenogenic biosynthetic gene cluster has been isolated from Panteoa agglomerans strain DC404, wherein the genetic organization of the cluster is crtE-idi-crtY-crtI-crtB-crtZ. The genes contained within this cluster encode geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP) synthetase (CrtE), isopentenyl pyrophosphate isomerase (Idi), lycopene cyclase (CrtY), phytoene desaturase (CrtI), phytoene synthase (CrtB), and β-carotene hydroxylase (CrtZ). The gene cluster, genes and their products are useful for the conversion of farnesyl pyrophosphate to carotenoids. Vectors containing those DNA segments, host cells containing the vectors and methods for producing those enzymes by recombinant DNA technology in transformed host organisms are disclosed.

    摘要: A cDNA encoding geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase from Canadian Yew (Taxus canadensis) has been isolated and sequenced, and the corresponding amino acid sequence has been determined. Accordingly, an isolated DNA sequence (SEQ NO:1) is provided which codes for the expression of geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase (SEQ ID NO:2), from Canadian Yew (Taxus canadensis). In other aspects, replicable recombinant cloning vehicles are provided which code for geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase, or for a base sequence sufficiently complementary to at least a portion of geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase DNA or RNA to enable hybridization therewith. In yet other aspects, modified host cells are provided that have been transformed, transfected, infected and/or injected with a recombinant cloning vehicle and/or DNA sequence encoding geranylgeranyl disphosphate synthase. Thus, systems and methods are provided for the recombinant expression of the aforementioned recombinant geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase that may be used to facilitate its production, isolation and purification in significant amounts. Recombinant geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase may be used to obtain expression or enhanced expression of geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase in plants in order to enhance the production of geranylgeranyl diphosphate, or diterpenes derived therefrom, or may be otherwise employed for the regulation or expression of geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase, or the production of its products.
